Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program

The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is a voluntary program for people who want to establish or improve wildlife habitat on private land. Through WHIP, USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service provides both technical and up to financial assistance to establish and improve fish and wildlife habitat. WHIP agreements between NRCS and the participant generally last from 2 to 10 years from the date the agreement is signed.
